It's an ED2K link. Start up eMule, go to [Tools]->[Paste ED2K Links], paste this link there and start downloading. :cheers:

Hello.

I've been very inspired by the kind words this game have been given, and I wanted to try it myself. But the download time was extremely long, so I downloaded eMule in order to use the link posted the 28th of december. It went well, but after 100 MB it stopped... How come?

Hope you can help me.

Same here on the ed2k thing stopped at 40mb then 60mb then 100mb, so gave up.

I registered i order to communicate better...

Im now up to 120 MB. But the problem is that im under download/upload restrictions... Thats why I usually dont use Pier to pier programs. And while im online waiting to download the next bit, someone uploads from me...

Is there a way for me to speed up the download proces?

[humorguy]

Well I reconnected for 20 mins and all I got on emule/ed2k was 6.00kb uploading from my PC and 0.00kb downloading to my PC, so after 20 mins I thought 'sod this for a lark' and thought 'horseman has set this up as a joke!'

So not to happy to have wasted 9 hours of PC time!

Emule is downloading files in 9-meg chunks. If the file is not downloading, this means that you have to wait for the queque. 20 minutes is far too little for any progress to occur, paricularly if there are very few sources to begin with.

That's the way it works. Other people who download this file also upload it.

Upload more. This way, if a person downloads stuff from you their client stores "credits" for you. People with more credits download faster then those with less credits.

I certainly did not intend this to be a joke on anyone.

Ok...

Guess I just have to be patient and wait in line

Looking forward to play the game though (about uploading... It seems my avaible uploads arent that interesting

[humorguy]

I have tried downloading three times, always goes the same way, downloads about 150mb at 20k plus, uploading 0k, then it goes to 6.0k upload 5k download at around 220mb and at 237mb it goes to 0.1 uploading 0.0k downloading, and this last time, stayed that way overnight and is still like that now.

Something is going on with this download as it's like no download I have ever seen, hence it being wise to stay away at the moment, I reckon! Never had a download muck me around as much as this one!

[Jasmann]

Im up to 380 MB now. And once in a while i download some chunks... Im only gonna keep eMule open untill this is downloaded, so I hope i can make it before my upload quota is reached :/

I think the problem with a file as big as this, is the credit system which wont allow us first in line, and therefore kicks us off when more "creditted" members wish to download...

When I get free upload/download, im gonna be online ALL the time for sure! Those credits are vital.

[humorguy]

Jasmann, that's not what emule tells me! And no wonder I am getting 4.5k download and 4.6k upload, it's because of you!

EDIT: And even worse, how comes you have downloaded more than me and yet I am uploading to you at 14.5k and getting 0,00k download! Grrr!

Second EDIT: I am STILL trying to get this 500mb downloaded! THREE DAYS now! I will never use emule again and if this game had been for sale on ebay I would have taken that route out of frustration!

I just do not understand how clients can exist and be online and yet I cannot get anything downloading! I see you Jasmann as one of the clients, and do not understand why I have twice as long uploading and not downloading than I do downloading and not uploading. I have use bitorrent a couple times and once the download starts, it continues, it may be slow, but it doesn't keep stopping and it never has 0k downloading 24k uploading!!!

Maybe the client does not have any parts you need for the file.

Nope. The first and foremost problem is that there are very few people sharing the file. Remember what happens with torrents with very few seeds? Yup, the same thing occurs here.
